This paper presents a new software for stereometry training. Its name is StereoMV (Stereo Math Vision). It is results from a dissertation work on the topic “Stereoscopic Training System”. It introduces virtual reality systems that are both immersive and non-immersive. The difference between them is in the equipment and the stereo effect they offer. A…

The efficient processing of database applications on computing systems with multi-tiered persistent storage devices needs specialized algorithms to create optimal persistent storage management plans. A correct allocation and deallocation of multi-tiered persistent storage may significantly improve the overall performance of data processing. This paper describes the new algorithms that create allocation and deallocation plans for…

Hackers on the Internet often send attacking commands through compromised hosts, called stepping-stones, for the purpose to be hidden behind a long interactive communication session. In a stepping-stone attack, an intruder uses a chain of stepping-stones as relay machines and remotely login these machines using a remote login program such as SSH (secure shell). A…

Before succumbing to the 2019 Coronavirus pandemic, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have sustained a ubiquitous presence in human lives and society. ICTs have changed the standards and dynamics of educational practices (EPs). Many academic institutions had already integrated technological-based pedagogical instructions into their educational practices but, in various cases, faced challenges of failing to…

Owing to technological development, the internet has become the world’s largest platform where an unaccountable amount of e-news information is freely available to use. Most of the time, e-newspaper readers have to examine the massive collection of e-news articles to locate necessary information relevant to them. Massive semi-structured and unstructured texts usually mislead the readers…

The emergence of blockchain technology has facilitated the digital transformation of many businesses and thereby increased the competitiveness of China in the global market. As a cutting-edge technology, Blockchain has significantly influenced the practices across all business sectors. Focusing on the retail and insurance sectors, this paper analyzes the blockchain technology applications in two companies…

Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most common and benign methods for analyzing and identifying abnormalities in the human brain. EEG is an incessant measure of the activities of the human brain. In contrast, when the measurement of EEG is bounded by time and the EEG is synchronized to an exterior stimulus, is known as…

Renewable energy is an essential source of green growth for countries facing a shortage of fossil fuels. They offer a sustainable, inexhaustible, carbon-free solution to the future energy dependency of nations. Morocco, which has no traditional energy resources, depends entirely on the international primary energy market to meet its growing demand. For this reason, Morocco…

In recent years, people-counting problems have increased in popularity, especially in crowded indoor spaces, e.g., public transport. In peak hours, trains move significant numbers of passengers, producing delays and inconveniences for their users. Therefore, analysing how people use public transport is essential to solving this problem. The current analysis estimates how many people are inside…

In agile manufacturing, due to the desire to meet customer’s requirements, processing times are stochastic because operations could be done by robots or humans. This can cause several problems in scheduling the jobs, and it is necessary to select the dispatch rule with the least change in costs and times, to respond quickly to different…

To examine the effects of wearing a flexible knee orthosis (FKO) on the lateral thrust in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) by changing the wearing pressure. This study was a cross-sectional study. Thirteen patients (mean age: 82.8 ± 7.5years with Kellgren Lawrence Stages I and II knee OA were included and prescribed FKO. Patient with…

We have been studying the application of the musical saw, an unknown and advanced tool, to a cooperative humanoid robot for industrial use. A sound feedback system using mallet strike technique and the sound generated by the technique was constructed in the previous reports. The system enables tuning to a target frequency and control to…

This paper builds on the realization that since mobile devices have become a common tool for researchers to collect, process, and analyze large quantities of data, we are now entering a generation where the creation of solutions to difficult real-world problems will mostly come in the form of mobile device apps. One such relevant real-life…

A nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) configuration whose phase shifters are placed in parallel is suitable for silicon-silica hybrid structure to realize a high-speed optical switch. Even when the signal wavelength deviates from an optimal wavelength, the crosstalk of the nested MZI optical switch can be suppressed by employing phase generating couplers (PGCs) in place of…

There are different factors which contribute to the amount of output power which can be delivered by solar photovoltaic (PV) module at any time of the year. The factors include but not limited to solar irradiation, ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity, position of sun in the sky, geographical position of installed solar PV module…

Hydrocarbon exploration and production has been successful in the central region of Doba basin, Chad, north-central Africa. In order to optimize the hydrocarbon production in this area, the combination of seismic and well log datas have been processed and analyzed to better characterize, image and capture the reservoirs. The 3D seismic and well log datas…

This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost basket based on an ARM system on chip architecture using Raspberry Pi single board computer. The inspiration of this research is how to support the traditional low-income retail store in Thailand driving the local micro-business deal with the economic impacts of survival business from the…

This paper is an extended version of the journal presented at ICECCME2021. In ICECCME2021, the authors presented that we have developed a solitary wave track circuit (SW-TC), and it is energy-saving compared to existing track circuits. Furthermore, we also explained that it can realize advanced train control at a low cost, equivalent to digital automatic…

Optoelectronic devices applications based on Organic–inorganic perovskites are promising and effective low-cost energy materials due to their exceptional physical properties which include high carrier mobility, high optical absorption coefficient, and long carrier diffusion length. In the presented work, a TiO2/NiO+5% Fe quantum dots (QDs)–doped CsMAFAPbI2Br2 perovskite heterojunction broadband photodetector was fabricated on FTO/glass substrate. The…

Information security behaviour is an integral part of modern business and has become a central theme in many research studies. One of the essential tools available that can be used to influence information security behaviour is information security policies (ISPs). These types of policies, which is mandatory in most organisations, are formalised rules and regulations…

In this paper, we propose a highly accurate indoor position and direction estimation system using a simple fully connected deep neural network (DNN) model on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSIs). Since the system’s ultimate goal is to function as an indoor navigation system, the system estimates the indoor position simultaneously as…
